## Description

From the Manufacturer The FR-401M captures sound from three sides, allowing you to record a room while rejecting noises from the back of the mic. It’s ideal for recording a live performance but not the audience. The back of mic should be directed at the audience to avoid recording it. The MXL FR-401M can also be used for stage performances, interviews, podcasting, and studio recording sessions where room sound is desired. The FR-401M can be used with a video camera as well to incorporate ambient sounds into the video.

Some common applications include recording interviews, live concerts, studio recording sessions, or plugging directly into a video camera to make sure you get all the audio on set.

Review: Great pick-up and noise isolation - We have two of these for our school musicals and they are perfect for catching the upstage performances. Clean audio with very good off-axis noise rejection. The pickup cone is just right so we can isolate these mics easily in the sound mix.
Review: Great PZM Microphone - This is a super sensitive microphone . If using it to mic a piano etc. be sure to place the microphone away from the piano a bit ( 4 feet or so ) or it will be distorted in sound . Picks up speech excellently ! This microphone has a very strong signal output .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pick-up and noise isolation
*by N***K on July 9, 2024*

We have two of these for our school musicals and they are perfect for catching the upstage performances. Clean audio with very good off-axis noise rejection. The pickup cone is just right so we can isolate these mics easily in the sound mix.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great PZM Microphone

This is a super sensitive microphone . If using it to mic a piano etc. be sure to place the microphone away from the piano a bit ( 4 feet or so ) or it will be distorted in sound . Picks up speech excellently ! This microphone has a very strong signal output .

### ⭐ What a complete waste!
*by M***E on October 3, 2021*

No matter where this was plugged into even the mixer, not one iota of sound. And unfortunately after having issues that kept me from using it immediately it is much too late for me to return it. It DOES NOT WORK!
